  • This is a long video to highlight a simple point. Stupid implementations of good ideas are still stupid. Trying to be minimalist without understanding what minimalism was trying to achieve is going to result in bad outcomes.

    You have to understand principles, where they came from, and why they exist first, then you can use or not use them mindfully.

  • I don't get how a supposedly socialist instance shills so hard for an oligopoly run by a low grade Bond villain.

  • Nobody wants to work ... for the peanuts we're offering.

  • Teaching kids about reality isn't grooming. That usually happens in church.

  • I think I can laugh at a dumb picture and remain aware of actual issues at the same time, but if that's what you need to focus effectively...

  • How convenient it must be for HR for everyone to be afraid of everyone else? How could you possibly unionize or form a cooperative if you fear and distrust your fellow workers?

    This post is sus.

  • "Polished razor dildo" isn't just a turn of phrase, it's a full 720.

  • Nah, it's still very impressive. The two things aren't necessarily related and you've presented zero evidence that they are. The entire idea that India's options were "feed kids or go to space" is reductive to the point of absurdity. They could do both.

    In any case, exploring our solar system isn't a luxury akin to owning a sports car. It's science. It's pushing the boundaries of human knowledge. It is incredibly valuable in a way that's hard to quantify.

    And quite frankly, Modi had precious little to do with this. He's a politician and this happened while he was in power. That's it. It's not like he was in the control room giving directions or turning a screwdriver or something.

  • I mean he had to know, right? With guys like Putin if you go hot, you either kill him or he has you killed. There is no in-between. His entire image relies on that. Maybe they had Prigozhin's family or something?

  • One of the cardinal rules of power struggles is "If you're gonna shoot for the king, don't miss."

  • Wow, you really did just type "weed addict" without a trace of irony, didn't you?

  • We'll all be calling it X-twitter after Elgoober manages to kill it.

  • An educated populace is 100% necessary for maintaining democracy. Feel free to go read your Thomas Jefferson on that, the sentiment is found throughout his written works.

  • The fuck is going on over there Italy? I know the USA's a dumpster fire but are you guys like ... trying to be the European equivalent of Mississippi?

  • Ok but did we have any reason to expect different?

    Who'd run against this guy? What halfway sane, left leaning person would want to involve themselves in law enforcement right now? Your own people hate you, the Republicans hate you, the other cops hate you ... it's just awful all the way down.

  • See? Quark has ALWAYS been fierce.
